    A Texas public library is closing for three days in order to review books on the shelves and remove any that make white people uncomfortable or any that mention LGBTQ+ people.

    Bill proposed in Oklahoma combined book burning with bounty hunting. It would allow any parent to demand any book be removed from school library. If the library does not comply, they have to pay a bounty of $10,000 a day.
    Like Pink Floyd said, we don't need no education.

    They literally would not be allowed to say Nazis were bad.

    DeathSantis opened the new Florida legislative session, in a Covid crisis, saying top priority is passing laws preventing schools from teaching anything that makes white people uncomfortable, as well as other bad things teachers try to sneak in. Sexuality, LGBTQ people, Biden won presidential election...

    I saw a local article the other day that the Crook County School district was getting ready to put a bond on the ballot. One of the first comments was " Not if they continue to teach Critical Race Theory". I wonder just how much CRT is taught in Prineville Oregon??? Amazes me how out of touch some of these people are with reality.

    Virginia Republican governor, first day in office, issued executive order misquoting Martin Luther King, banning teaching anything that makes white people uncomfortable. He said they should teach history but prohibits teaching that anyone has or had advantage or disadvantage because of race.
    What color were enslaved people? Most lynching victims? The ones banned from schools, owning property, voting? In Virginia, illegal to answer that question.

    What does that comment even mean? Where is any evidence of schools teaching critical race theory?

    I'd truly like to watch ome of these lessons.

    There isn't. Any more than any city instituting Sharia law 20 years ago. Or gay people taking marriage away from straights. It plays on fear and racism to turn out votes for Republicans.

    Just finishing up Grants bio and it reminds me of the democratic KKK right after the war ended trying to take away the freeman and opposing reconstruction. There were insurgencies in New Orleans and Jackson where the white dems/KKK and miltias took over government building and murdered many blacks and republican whites as most were abolitionist. Crazy how things change but yet remain the same.

    And 50 years ago, Martin Luther King said the biggest obstacle wasn't the Klansman but the white moderate who insisted on "regular order". Doesn't THAT sound familiar?
